Predefined Content and Configuration for Service Provisioning

Some service provisioning functions performed in CA Server Automation are effective in Reservation Manager. Service templates are predefined in the CA Server Automation Administration user interface. Reservation Manager reservation templates are created based on the service templates. You can make reservations for services from the Reservation Manager user interface or the CA Server Automation portal interface.

To provide predefined service provisioning, the following actions are performed:

• OnDemand Resources is the name of the default resource pool and includes all configured and available VMware vCenter datastores by default. When a vCenter Server is configured in the CA Server Automation portal, the ESX server resources are added to the OnDemand Resources pool.
• The Service Administrators organizational unit is added and configured to access the OnDemand Resources pools.
• Citrix XenServer, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (KVM-based), and Huawei GalaX do not support service provisioning currently. To create their resource pools manually, see Create a Resource Pool for Virtual Machines.
• Reservation Templates are automatically created from any service templates that are predefined in CA Server Automation.

  Note: Navigate to Reservation Templates, and use the wizard to view the detail of the predefined reservation templates.
